Preview of new YA book in progress, Bury
I remember where I was or rather where
I shouldn’t have been the day my dad died, at Melissa Mancini’s. I remember exactly
what I was doing, what I was wearing, my new blue jeans and a white polo top with a green zip down sweater. Melissa was one of the popular girls
at the prep
school I attended in Santa Monica and she was throwing a party up in the hills then her parents were away. The live in nanny was so gullible;
it didn’t matter that Melissa was going to have a “few friends” over or that all of us were under the age of fifteen except
for Melissa’s boyfriend
who was a sophomore at a nearby high school and could drive. It didn’t matter because all the nanny cared about from what I could see was
getting paid. But what did I know?

Everyone else has a web site these days, so I figured, why not me, too?
I'll mainly use this site to post my writing. My crazy and weird, yet
oh so imaginative mind.
I am currently working on a YA novel, Bury. Told from a fifteen, going on sixteen
year old girl's point of view, this book is going to top the charts in the next couple of years. I promise
you that.
Nothing is going right in her life. Her dad has died. No one believes her when she thinks it was
a homicide and she's moved into her grandparent's house in Elm, NY, the smallest town she has ever seen. It's
up to Abigail to figure everything out before it's too late. Before she's one of them.
Keep checking
the blog on my site for updated information on that book and other short stories of mine. My other writing collection
that I am working on is a short story collection told from different women around the world. It explores the sheer fascination
and utter horror of being a woman in a different culture. There is a strength inside us all and that's what I explore.
